Emmerdale have made a cheeky comment on their clash with Wimbledon coverage and won the internet while they were at it by mashing up some iconic scenes to give them a more tennis feel.

As action in both Wimbledon AND Emmerdale heats up, fans will be facing a bit of a dilemma on which to tune into. While Emmerdale no doubt expected their ratings to dip in the clashes, they have actually held up well, still managing to maintain around 5 million viewers against the tennis.

And now, the show has taken to Twitter to offer a solution to fans struggling to decide between the two programmes – by merging them together. And we think they may have just hit on a genius storyline that could rival their big summer blockbusters.

Next year, let’s see all problems resolved by a tennis match shall we?

Can’t Aaron and Robert just get all that sexual tension out by grunting through a tennis match? Less people will get hurt. And it’s just as fun as what they tend to get up to. Well, almost.
